Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, our skilled veterinary team is able to quickly identify hidden health issues that may not be visible through routine examinations.
We also offer a comprehensive chemistry panel, which measures key health parameters such as organ function, blood sugar levels, electrolyte balance, and protein levels. Together, these tests provide a complete picture of your pet’s overall health, allowing us to detect underlying medical conditions early and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Regular blood tests and chemistry panels are essential for early detection and can help prevent serious health complications down the line. By identifying potential concerns before they become major issues, we can implement preventive measures and ensure your pet receives the highest level of care.
Urinalysis: A Key Component of Routine Pet Health Check-ups
Urinalysis is a vital diagnostic tool that plays a key role in maintaining your pet’s overall health. As part of our routine check-ups, this test helps us identify early signs of urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other potential health issues.
At West Hills Veterinary Centre, we utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to perform thorough urinalysis. Our process involves evaluating the urine’s color, transparency, and concentration, followed by a microscopic examination to identify any abnormalities or potential concerns.
We prioritize your pet’s comfort throughout the procedure, ensuring that each step is performed with the utmost care and attention to detail—so your pet stays at ease during their visit.
By including urinalysis in regular wellness exams, we can detect health issues early, allowing for prompt treatment and better outcomes for your pet’s long-term well-being.

Parasite Testing & Fecal Exams: Protecting Your Pet’s Health from the Inside Out
At West Hills Veterinary Centre, we consider parasite testing, including fecal exams, a vital part of comprehensive veterinary care. Parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, fleas, ticks, and mites can pose serious health risks to your pets if left undetected and untreated.
Our experienced veterinary team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify a wide range of internal and external parasites. Fecal examinations are a key component in detecting intestinal parasites, while our broader parasite testing services allow us to screen for external and microscopic threats as well.
With our state-of-the-art on-site laboratory, we can deliver fast, reliable results—allowing us to initiate timely treatment and prevent more serious complications. Regular testing plays a critical role in maintaining your pet’s well-being, especially since parasitic infections often go unnoticed until they cause significant health issues.
By incorporating routine parasite screening into your pet’s wellness plan, you’re taking an important step toward ensuring their long-term health, comfort, and happiness.
Digital Radiography: Advanced Imaging for Accurate, Non-Invasive Diagnoses
At West Hills Veterinary Centre, we utilize digital radiography as a powerful diagnostic tool to evaluate your pet’s health with speed and precision. This advanced, non-invasive imaging technology allows us to visualize internal structures such as bones, organs, and tissues—helping detect conditions like fractures, tumors, infections, and foreign objects.
Digital X-rays produce high-resolution images in real-time, enabling our veterinary team to make prompt, accurate diagnoses and begin appropriate treatment without delay. The process is efficient and minimally stressful for your pet, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience.
As a cornerstone of modern veterinary diagnostics, digital radiography supports more effective, personalized caregiving your pet the best possible path to recovery and wellness.
Ultrasound Imaging: Safe, Pain-Free Insight into Your Pet’s Health
At West Hills Veterinary Centre, we offer ultrasound imaging as a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool to closely examine your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. This advanced technology allows our veterinarians to gather critical information without discomfort or stress for your pet.
Ultrasound is especially valuable for diagnosing abdominal concerns, monitoring pregnancies, assessing heart conditions, and identifying abnormalities in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and bladder. By capturing real-time images, we can make more accurate diagnoses and develop effective, individualized treatment plans.
Our compassionate team is committed to using the latest veterinary technology to provide precise, efficient, and gentle care—ensuring your pet’s health and comfort at every step of the process.
Endoscopy: Minimally Invasive Diagnostics for Enhanced Pet Care
At West Hills Veterinary Centre, we are proud to offer endoscopy as part of our advanced diagnostic services. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a flexible tube with a high-resolution camera to examine internal areas such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasal passages, and other vital organs—without the need for surgery.
Endoscopy provides a clear, real-time view of your pet’s internal health, allowing our veterinarians to detect abnormalities, collect tissue samples (biopsies), and diagnose conditions with precision. This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes discomfort, and avoids the risks associated with traditional surgical exploration.
With a focus on gentle, modern diagnostic methods, our compassionate team is dedicated to delivering accurate, timely care that helps your pet stay healthy and happy.
